Default Re: Grit Blast Media Recommendation

Howard I have always used glass beads. I tried the TP speed beads and they work much faster with the same fine finish as regular glass beads. I use 1/2 a 50lb bag per fill. so a bag lasts 2 or 3 years.

I used to restore early Triumph motoryrcycles and I tried walnut shells for aluminum but never had much succes plus they bwere hard to clean out of cabinet. When I would clean spark plugs with beads a stray walnut shell would end up stuck in plug.
